not too much; just enough

for back-tack3

I've been listening to songs about missing, songs about love, songs about leaving. Been writing letters and making sketches, been learning from my students. Been reading novels for pleasure. Been thinking about writing something longer, myself. Been imagining. Letting new ideas run through my hands like small, smooth stones. Letting the materials take me where they want to go.

Happy Mothers' Day to those of you who are or have one.
